	bootix ::: Boot Image
		A boot image is a file that can be downloaded from a network boot server in order to boot a computer.
		Boot images can provide multiple different tasks: turn a diskless machine into a terminal client, implement a "helper OS" platform for the unattended installation of an operating systeme, or provide maintenance and emergency services (BIOS update, offline virus scan, system backup and recovery, etc.).
		Other images consist of multiple files, and must rely on a boot loader that is capable of loading all required files into the computer's memory before passing execution control to the OS loader in the image.

	Draft Net Boot Image Proposal 0.3
		If the boot image is flagged as being returnable to the boot process, the boot program has to provide the boot image with interrupt vector 78h.
		If the boot image is not flagged as being returnable to the boot process, before the boot image is called, the boot program has to set the system into a state in which it was before the net boot process has started.
		These functions are only available to boot images which have the first magic number at the beginning of the image header, and have the returnable flag set in the flags field.

	Multiboot Standard
		The term "OS image" is used to refer to the initial binary image that the boot loader loads into memory and transfers control to to start the OS.
		The term "boot module" refers to other auxiliary files that the boot loader loads into memory along with the OS image, but does not interpret in any way other than passing their locations to the OS when it is invoked.
		Compliant boot loaders must be able to load images that either are in ELF format or contain the load address information embedded in the multiboot_header; they may also directly support other executable formats, such as particular a.out variants, but are not required to.

	Image Format with Initial Magic Number.
		The arguments to the routine are: a pointer to an Etherboot specific header, a pointer to the tagged image header, and a pointer to the bootp reply.
		If this bit is not set the boot image does never return to the net boot process, and the net boot program has to set the system into a clean state before calling the boot image.
		If the first image, then add to 512 plus the location where the 512 bytes were placed 0 1 subtract the load address from the one past the last writeable location in memory.

	Inside the Linux boot process
		This boot loader is less than 512 bytes in length (a single sector), and its job is to load the second-stage boot loader.
		When the images are loaded, the second-stage boot loader passes control to the kernel image and the kernel is decompressed and initialized.
		At the head of this kernel image is a routine that does some minimal amount of hardware setup and then decompresses the kernel contained within the kernel image and places it into high memory.

	Boot Linux from a FireWire device
		Boot loaders are usually installed in the MBR of the first hard disk in the machine.
		In order to use the one-phase boot, we need to build a kernel that has all the drivers needed to mount the root file system built in (any other drivers can be built at modules that can be loaded from the root partition during normal initialization).
		You should now be able to boot using the floppy: it will load the kernel from the floppy, load the initrd image into RAM, wait for the root device to be recognized, and then continue to boot as normal from there.

	Boot Scriptor 1.1 Documentation
		Boot Scripts are essentially text files with console commands typed on its lines; however, the scripting language allows additional script-only commands to be used as well.
		Boot Scriptor has the abiltiy to display full-screen graphic images while the program continues to run in the background.
		The image will be displayed while Boot Scriptor initializes, and for up to four seconds after it was initially shown (unless the user presses a key to terminate the splash).

		boot = /dev/hda vga = normal read-only prompt default = dos timeout = 30 append="hdc=ide-scsi" image = /boot/vmlinuz label = linux root = /dev/hda2 initrd = /boot/initrd The structure of the LILO configuration file starts with the global directives that are taken as the default values, unless overridden by a directive in the image sub-section.
		If you need to have a different root for this image or you are trying to boot another Linux distribution then you will need to specify the 'root' option here as well as any other option specific to that image.
		The section for booting another OS is essentially the same as that for the image.

	Modifying the Switch Boot Configuration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The BOOT environment variable is described in the "Understanding the BOOT Environment Variable" section.
		If the first file fails to boot the switch, subsequent images that are specified in the BOOT environment variable are tried until the switch boots or there are no additional images to attempt to boot.
		If you want to change the order in which images are tried at startup, you can either prepend and clear images from the BOOT environment variable to attain the desired order or you can clear the entire BOOT environment variable and then redefine the list in the desired order.

	Cisco - How to Upgrade from ROMmon Using the Boot Image
		The boot image is a subset of the Cisco IOS® software that is used to download main Cisco IOS software images to the router using TFTP in recovery situations.
		This image can be called xboot image, rxboot image, bootstrap image, or boot loader or helper image, which depends on your platform.
		If your router has no valid image in Flash or Bootflash, and no other ROMmon upgrade procedure, the only way to recover is to have a similar router with a compatible Flash card, download the image on that router, and then move the Flash card to the one that is stuck.

		So either the image is different, with the same palette, or the image was encoded somehow.
		Nearly all of the boot images on Res Excellence are way too complicated to compress down that small.
		Since this blocky image really doesn't benefit from anti-aliasing, and the extra colors used for the smoothing would bloat the RLE compression, I removed the smoothing pixels.

	Booting over the Network
		It is possible to write your own boot program from scratch, provided that the program leaves a correctly formed boot line at the known memory location and then retrieves, loads, and runs the VxWorks image.
		This is because the boot program typically needs access to a variety of networking utilities in order to gather all the information needed for the boot line, as well as a file transfer utility to retrieve the boot image.
		If the boot program finds that you have entered a non-empty value for other, the boot program assumes that this value is the name of a network device that you want to attach.

	Drive Image utilities
		The only drawback to the image backup technique is that the backup image tends to be very large, and takes longer than a plain old backup of a few data files, especially using incremental backup techniques.
		Drive Image will create an image of your disk [actually one or more partitions of your choice], with the OS and all applications and all your data, and write the image to wherever you want, in order to save it.
		Whenever it is desired, you can perform a "restore image" operation, in order to take the previously created backup image and restore it to the working disk [which may be a new disk if your OS disk crashed].
